Potential 50-60 point second line center. He's kind of a Spezza-lite. Makes some amazing passes you'd never thought would go through, has terrific vision. His best traits are probably his vision, passing, puckhandling and playmaking. His shot is pretty good too. He always makes things happen when he's on the ice.

Hasn't had much of an opportunity in Ottawa because we have so many centers right now and he's best suited on the top-two lines getting PP time then in the bottom six not getting PP time. He's behind Spezza and Turris in that department...

I think he can break out if given the chance with another team. Only his defensive game would need some polishing.

Personally, I see none of that. He doesn't skate hard, and looks lazy most of the time. Plays a bit like Spezza, but with 40% the skill.
I'm obviously not high on him, but he's a C prospect regardless.

How is this a bad proposal?
Turris is a former 3rd overall pick, he's a great two-way player and he led the Sens in goals both in the regular season and in the playoffs. He's also signed to a great contract.

He's no Seguin yet, granted. But that's where the 17th comes in. And Turris still has the ability to live up to his 3rd overall billing.
